Greetings!
The weather has been hot and dry and it is starting to take a toll on many crops. 
We are moving into the summer crops which are much more tolerant of these conditions. 
I think we may even have some tomatoes in a few weeks. 
Cucumbers are getting a good start in the high tunnel, you should have had a couple small ones by now, and we will start getting larger ones soon.  I picked the first summer squash this week, it looks great!  We will have green zucchini, Costa zucchini (green with pale ribs), and zephyr (yellow with green end).  We will have more variety as the summer goes on. 
Summer squash is fantastic raw in a pasta salad or mixed marinated veggies, great sauteed with garlic, and our favorite, grilled.  It is also really good in marinara and Alfredo sauce.
Everything seems to be slow due to the lack of rain, so hopefully we will get a couple inches soon!
